China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi urges the international community to support peace negotiations in Ukraine, reiterating China's commitment to the four-point framework outlined by President Xi Jinping. Wang also stresses the importance of upholding the two-state solution in the Middle East and addresses the recent controversy surrounding former US President Donald Trump's comments on Gaza.
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized China's unwavering support for peace talks in Ukraine during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on February 18th, 2025. Addressing the council, Wang reiterated China's commitment to the four-point framework outlined by President Xi Jinping for resolving the conflict.
These points include respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations, adhering to the principles of the UN Charter, acknowledging the legitimate security concerns of all countries, and actively supporting efforts towards a peaceful resolution. Wang, who chaired the Security Council meeting as China holds the presidency for February, underscored the importance of multilateralism in addressing global challenges. Meanwhile, Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia took a more critical stance, asserting that the international community is becoming increasingly aware of those genuinely advocating for a more equitable and fair world, in contrast to those clinging to outdated ideologies and pursuing their geopolitical agendas at all costs. Nebenzia argued that any state proposing peace initiatives must first comprehend the root causes of the conflict, which he attributed to the disregard for Russia's security interests, the attempt to inflict a geopolitical defeat on Russia, and the Ukrainian government's failure to protect the rights of its entire population. Focusing on the Middle East, Wang expressed the necessity of upholding the two-state solution and addressed the recent controversy surrounding former US President Donald Trump's comments on Gaza. Wang emphasized that Gaza and the West Bank are the homeland of the Palestinian people and should not be treated as bargaining chips in political negotiations. He called for the recognition of Palestinian self-governance in Gaza as a fundamental principle in post-conflict governance. Wang concluded by acknowledging that while the Ukraine crisis demands significant attention, other global hotspots, such as the situation in Gaza, must not be overlooked. He stressed the need for the international community to remain engaged in addressing these multifaceted challenges
